A long-awaited holiday full of warmth and magic. New Year's is the time of the year when gift shopping turns into a real adventure, from online ordering to visiting various stores in search of the perfect gift.

Flowers are also a popular choice for gifts during this holiday, due to their wide variety and colorful selection. But why do so many of us choose flowers as a gift? Well, the story goes back to ancient times and cultures.

Ancient roots

In ancient times, flowers were associated with the gods and held a certain symbolism. For example, the ancient Egyptians offered flowers as a sign of respect to their gods, and the ancient Greeks believed that each flower had a special meaning, therefore incorporating them into various rituals.

Victorian Era

It was in the Victorian era that the significance of flowers came to the fore. In the 19th century, strict social norms limited the expression of feelings, forcing people to communicate their feelings in the language of flowers, also known as "floriography".

During this period, specific flowers and compositions were used to express feelings forbidden to be voiced. And soon love, gratitude, respect, and many other feelings began to be expressed through various flower bouquets.

The beginning of floral traditions

The development of egalitarian trends coincided with the development of flower-giving traditions. One of the most common ceremonies was the wedding ceremony, when flowers played a pivotal role, being used as floral compositions capable of impressing any curious guest.

When approaching the altar, the bride would hold a specially selected flower bouquet, each flower selected with its symbolism in mind. In some cultures, flowers have also been associated with good fortune, fertility, and the happiness of newlyweds.

Cultural diversity

In the meantime, the tradition of giving flowers has been adopted by many cultures, each of which has added some interesting twists to the custom. For example, in Japan, the art of flower arrangement, or ikebana, emphasizes harmony, balance, and simplicity. Flowers are chosen not only for their attractiveness but also for their meaning, where great respect is also given to nature.

In Chinese culture, certain flowers have special significance. For example, the rose is a symbol of wealth and prosperity, making it a popular gift for celebrations, while the chrysanthemum is associated with longevity and is often used for festive occasions.

Flowers and the contemporary world

Today, the tradition of gifting flowers has not only survived but has evolved. Now flowers are not just plants, they are masterpieces of art. It should be noted that flower art has become a popular subject in modern times, leading to an increase in the number of floral design collections that can be used for both birthdays and holidays.

Flowers are now available all year round thanks to high-quality greenhouses and a specialized approach. This accessibility allows people to choose their preferred type of flowers, considering both the rich color gamut and their unique symbolism.

Christmas bouquets

Christmas carols also express a variety of emotions and symbols. During this celebration, special attention is paid to the combination of red and green flowers, which symbolize the colors of Christmas.

It's easy to guess that the first choice is red roses, which convey love and passion. In addition to roses, many people also choose chrysanthemums, which are distinguished by their bright colors and special symbolism, expressing a wish for long life and prosperity.

To give the flowers a festive touch, many people also prefer to add certain branches to them, which not only enhance the warm holiday mood but are also considered a great holiday gift.

And a carefully selected and designed gift makes the New Year even more meaningful and lovely.
